ill have to make a few posts, the first will be of the outside of the rig, but I did some rust patrol today and will need the skinny on what to do with what I found, it to me doesnt look too bad but im a newbee at this so, give it to me strait guys,

HI rick its got 8v71n 34,000mi on a rebuild did 4 yrs ago, it has a 740 trans, and the a/c was changed over to 134a about 2yrs ago, 375,000 on the odo, those pics before were the nice ones now ill post some of the other ones.

the first pic is were it felt kinds raised up like there is rust under the vinal right were the window piller meets the dash, the rest of the dash feels good.

the sec pic is the first bay the only rust I could find was light surface rust on the latch, im sure some ospho and a repaint will fix that.

the first pic is the front area of the pass side of the drive axle, all weel wells look like they have a fiberglass cover inside thats covered with undercoating, unless the tire rubbed then some of the coating is gone.

sec pic is the drivers side frnt axle area, only sone surface rust were the undercoating has come off.

From what I see it looks a nice bus. If there is rust, it will be behind the walls above the stainless belt line, and behind the front skin under the windshields, from what I have been able to gather. But what you can see looks very good, IMHO.
